Dear Junior High and High School Parents,
You received an email on Friday, Nov. 13 detailing modifications our leadership team agreed upon in order to best respond to the current COVID-19 environment.
Today, we decided to add several significant changes that ONLY AFFECT GRADES 7-12. Grades PreK-6 will not be affected by these changes and will follow the plan outlined in our Nov. 13 communication, which calls for continued full-time, in-person instruction for our elementary.
The decisions outlined below are based off of our desire to have our Junior High and High School students finish their first semester well.
Please read these items below carefully, so you can make plans accordingly:
Students will attend school Monday – Thursday only: There will be NO SCHOOL for students Friday, November 20; Friday, December 4; and Friday, December 11.
Students will operate on a full block schedule: Beginning Monday, November 30, through Friday, December 11. Our Full-Block schedule will include periods 1,3,5,7 each Monday and Wednesday, and periods 2,4,6,8 each Tuesday and Thursday for these two weeks.
Students will NOT have exams: There will be NO EXAMS and NO SCHOOL for students in Grades 7-12 the week of December 14 – 18. All grades for Quarter 2 and Semester 1 will be concluded prior to Christmas Break.
Students will resume normal schedules in January: Students will begin Quarter 3, and resume their Hybrid Block schedule on Monday, January 4, 2021.
Thank you for your prayers for our students, teachers, staff, and families. Most importantly, thank you for being flexible with us as we seek to keep our students engaged while healthy and safe.
In Him,
Gabe Pethtel
Junior High and High School Principal
